Show us a funny news headline.
Awhile ago I posted about how I was up late and couldn't sleep. I was flipping through channels and for once the music channels were actually playing music videos! Sure, it was two videos and then five minutes of commercials, but I still wanted to try and catch those two videos. I don't listen to the radio and so the only music exposure I get is through word of mouth and the occasional video. I usually stay off of MTV as it's all rap, and I stay away from VH1 as they play too much pop - so I usually stick with Fuse.
They were playing this video and at first I thought it was a remake of this song, but once I knew it was a new song I wanted to see what happened in the video and listen to the lyrics. Not surprisingly, I was sorely disappointed on both fronts, as the lyrics are idiotically repetitive and the video is mindless and striving to become soft porn.
All that aside, the STUPID song has been stuck in my head ever since! I hate addictive songs that are stupid.
What is something that can always make you feel better?

Aside from the classic puppies and kittens? Cartoons like Family Guy & American Dad. There's something mindless and so ridiculous about those kinds of shows that it makes me forget why I'm upset, move on, water under the bridge. Friends is also another one like that, though I've seen most of those episodes so much that I turn them out if my mind is in great turmoil.
Poor cat.
I may be a farm-girl but I had never heard of fainting goats until this morning. If they're new to you, too, here's a video. My favorite moment is around :50
Oh, dear. After being away from the house 13 hours, I came home and guess who was waiting for me? The big girls!
-she didn't say Val is sexy but I thought it would be a good neighbor plug
Baby-doll climbed curled up on my lap and I rocked her whilst Baby-girl told me all about her new teacher, her old teacher and how well they got on. It was fun seeing them but Tante was fairly tired. Finally, I started my evening process (cleaning lunch dishes toted to work, doing laundry, eating supper and cooking the next day's food). The girls wanted to play my out-of-tune piano. Fine with me! They banged on it about 30 seconds and shifted into using some free weights I haven't touched in goodness knows how long. They crack me up.
I told her, "Sometimes when we learn new words, it's fun to experiment with using them." That's the kind of Ta I be.

A quick search in a Malaysian job search website shows the above salary table for Sr Management position with Master's degree in various category of jobs.
So... are you in the right bracket? Higher or lower from average?
Have a nice weekend ahead.
I'm told that it should be safe to venture into Brisbane as it will be flamingo free zone as from tomorrow, so I'll be going there for the weekend. Which is why FNP is early this week.
Do
not worry if you have built your castles in the air. They are where they should
be. Now put the foundations under them.
Henry
David Thoreau
Dag Hammarskjöld died in a plane crash in 1961 while serving
as Secretary General of the United Nations. After his death, a little book entitled
“Markings” was published. It contains jottings of his spiritual insights
throughout this life. What follows is my markings. They are not so much spiritual,
as practical markings that I have stumbled upon, and subsequently followed
throughout my life. They are not the markings of one who received a university
education, but those of a tradesman, written in the language of a tradesman.
For that is what I am, a tradesman, although I use the term to define my
background rather than with any class connotations, I’m not sure what does
define me. I’m just me. That's enough.
I sometimes wish that I had received an education in philosophy, political science, and science, but I didn’t, and I do not waste time on regrets. It has been my experience that life is a series of swings and roundabouts. What sometimes appears to have been a disadvantage in life may just have led to an unappreciated advantage. Not all wisdom is to be had by the academics. And skill in using one’s hands leads to a different kind of wisdom. After all, without those who possess those skills, the philosophers would starve.
